Lyrics

Perfect

[Verse 1]

Sick of circling the same road

Sick of bearing the guilt

So open the windows to cool off

And heat pours in instead

[Chorus]

Perfect in weakness

I'm only perfect in just your strength alone

[Verse 2]

All my efforts to clean me

Leave me putrid and filthy

And how can you look at me

When I can't stand myself?

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm tired to be honest

I'm nobody

[Chorus]

Perfect in weakness

I'm only perfect in just your strength alone

Perfect in weakness

I'm only running in just your strength alone

[Bridge]

I tried to kill you

You tried to save me

You save me

You save me

You save me

You save me

[Chorus]

Perfect in weakness

I'm only perfect in just your strength alone

Perfect in weakness

I'm only running in just your strength alone
